stupid dorm doesn't let me hang my bike from the ceiling. I would stlll have to duck a little, but I could hang it above my bed and save space. I'm left leaving my bike on the outdoors rack

I had to knock out a wall, converting a two car garage into a three car garage to house all my bicycles.

if you take off the front wheel and store them separately...
like in the closet separately, then you'll have more space

I used to do this, but I found it easier just to not have so many bikes if you don't have the space. Though, I wouldn't get rid of any of these bikes.
You could also do what this guy did. Seems pretty economical.

I've never seen two pairs of Lightweight Wheels in the same photo without a Brink's Truck.

the magical thing about bikes... they take up the same amount of space either assembled or disassembled.
unless you have a folding bike.

At one point my girlfriend and I had six bikes in our apartment. We took the doors off a closet and hung the ones that don't get ridden as often from the front wheel in there. We were fortunate to have a longish and wide-ish hallway that could handle the remainder.

the 1st step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
